South Africa is currently celebrating 20 years of democracy. And our Constitution states that we are "united in our diversity". Are we still on track to realise this ideal of inclusivity? This question inspired the theme of this year's blog competition, 1994 + 20: Closer together or further apart?
So get writing and share your thoughts on this at bonfiire and stand in line to win a cash prize. See rules below.
According to Wayde Groep, the organiser of the blog-competition, the idea is to encourage open and honest engagement around this theme. "Twenty years into our democracy, we are challenged to think about how the landscape has changed within Stellenbosch and our country. We need to look at where we at and how far we have come but to also realise the work that still needs to be done."
This competition is presented by Stellenbosch University as part Diversity Week 2014 in support of inclusivity. Visit www.sun.ac.za/diversity for more info, and use the hashtag #MatiesDiversity
